What kind of footwear can I wear to drive to the beach?

I have to drive to the beach in a couple of days. I want to wear slide shoes but are they safe or should I drive barefoot? If none of them are possible I'll have to wear sneakers but I don't want to because it's a beach day.

You all say to wear shoes but I don't want to put my feet into closed shoes after walking on sand
